Hilton Head Island Packet and Beaufort Gazette combine editorially

The sports department did this a while back -- last summer, I think? -- but now the two papers are combining their editorial operations across the board.

I think, based on the column the publisher wrote, that they'll have separate fronts, but the inside pages will be the same.

I'll say this -- The Island Packet and The Gazette are two of the best small dailies in the country. I certainly hope for the best for the staff. I've got a few friends down there, and they do excellent work.

Unlike SCE, I know no one down there but the reputation of these publications is top-notch. We can only hope that quality isn't further compromised.
